Ode to Mr. Clients R. Losers
Mr. Clients R. Losers et al, I hate you. I HATE YOU.
I hate you because you could not bring yourself to agree to a protective order.
I hate you because even though we were supposed to have a “meet and confer” today as required by the local rules, you had no intention of negotiating in good faith as required by the local rules. I know this because the affidavit signed by Client, LOSER NUMERO UNO, was dated January 18, 2006 and not today.
I hate you because you hand filed your motion for a protective order, which is against local rules.
I hate you because you failed to include a notice of motion when you hand delivered it to me, which fails to satisfy the federal rules.
I hate you because you COMPLETELY changed your proposed protective order from the last time you submitted it to us to review (but of course we pointed that out in our motion).
I hate you because your new proposed protective order is so specific that it would not cover any discovery much less the discovery you requested.
I hate you because in your motion you failed to include a specific statement demonstrating compliance with aforementioned “meet and confer” conference as required by the judge.
I hate you because your motion failed to include a statement showing good cause for entrance of your motion as required by the case law.
I hate you because every time your client says something, like in the affidavit, he talks out of both sides of his mouth.
I hate you because you tried to pull this fast one.
But my client loves you because we are going to sanction your A$$



Huzzah!

Prophet, just remember to do like Martin Lawrence "Woo Saa"
Actually I just wanted to join JD and add my own funny words.
For those of us who don't have JD's personal recollection of the 1700's:
Huzzah From Wikipedia
Huzzah (originally huzza) is an old English expression of joy or approbation. According to the Oxford English Dictionary it is "apparently a mere exclamation" without any particular derivation. The OED notes, however, that in the 17th and 18th centuries it was identified as a sailor's cheer or salute, and thus was possibly related to words like heeze and hissa which are cognates of hoist.
The word hurrah is a more modern form, also related to similar words in European languages. The OED states: "In English the form hurrah is literary and dignified; hooray is usual in popular acclamation."
The term huzzah has been adopted, with no change in meaning, by modern gamers and those involved in the Renaissance Fair circuit both of which communities, admittedly, overlap. This was popularized by the comic strip Knights of the Dinner Table.
For example: "Huzzah! I just zinged Dave Brock."

What are you talking about? "Huzzah" is quite common.
See this comic from yesterday

Ok, citing a virtually unknown online comic strip does not bolster your claim that Old Man Crane's use of "Huzzah" is "quite common." When is the last time YOU said it or actually heard someone else say the phrase(of course not counting when you went to the Renaissance Faire and hung out with the modern gamers).
